InfoBox Citations[edit]

I canged the number of personnel from 1,000 to 500. I couldn't figure out how to put the cite in the info box though. www.tnmilitary.org/tennessee-state-guard.html If someone wants to add it that would be great. BlueworldSpeccie (talk) 20:23, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The figure of 1,000 came from the following news article: http://www.tricities.com/news/about-the-tennessee-state-guard/article_9ff63295-0efa-540a-ae28-c9e0c1de19ab.html. However, the official website says 500. I wasn't sure if the website was outdated or if the news article got it wrong, so I guessed it more likely that the website simply hadn't been updated to reflect the organization's growth rather than the possibility that the TNSG had lost half it's strength in the past five years or the news article made such an elementary mistake. Nonetheless, unless a member of the TNSG is willing to provide some insight into the matter, I don't know that changing it back to the 1,000 is the best move so for now it's probably best to use the website's figure.

Changes to the Tennessee State Guard article[edit]

The information for the TN State Guard is somewhat dated. The strength of the State Guard is closer to 256 members. Also, the SAR branch has been done away with, including all other special groups such as Engineering, etc. There is still a Chaplain Section and Medical Section . Some personnel may still hold the titles, but there are no actual depts. for them to lead.

The Regiments have changed some of their subunits. the 11th FSB is now 1st Regt, and the 21st FSB is gone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.203.181.181 (talk) 14:00, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I would be happy to update the article in the event that it is outdated and newer information is made available. However, until I can find these facts published by a reputable, citable, published source, the article will have to rely on the last available published sources. If you can post a link to this talk page from the TNSG or the Tennessee Military Department or SGAUS that reflects these changes to this talk page, I would be happy to integrate it into the article and update the information. Unfortunately, until then, the current published information remains the only verifiable data that can be used in the article.Et0048 (talk) 19:39, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Tennessee Confederate American Civil War Units[edit]

Early Tennessee Confederate units formed during American Civil War were organized in the Provisional Army of Tennessee and transferred to the Confederate States Army on July 31 or August 1, 1861. The 4th Tennessee Infantry Regiment was organized in the Provisional Army of Tennessee on May 15, 1861 and transferred to Confederate States Army service in August 1861. This was not a Tennessee State Guard militia unit and so I removed the sentence about it in the text. In addition to Crute, cited in my edit summary, the organization of the unit is given in Part 1 of Civil War Centennial Commission of Tennessee. Tennesseans in the Civil War: A Military History of Confederate and Union Units with Available Rosters of Personnel. In Two Parts. Nashville: Civil War Centennial Commission, 1964, 1965. Reprinted Knoxville: University of Tennessee Press, 1981, 1984. ISBN 978-0-87402-017-5. p. 182.
